Abstract
An information display device includes a display that includes a touch panel and displays an on-screen button to which a given function is allocated on a display screen; and a controller that (a) detects two or more points that an operator touches on the touch panel, (b1) judges whether or not the touched points coincide with an outline of the on-screen button, and (c1) transfers a normal operation mode to a shifting mode for shifting a position of the on-screen button when the touched points coincide with the outline of the on-screen button. According to the information display device, an on-screen button can be shifted at a short time.

An information display device comprising:
- a display that includes a touch panel and displays an on-screen button to which a given function is allocated on a display screen;
- and
- a controller that (a) detects two or more points that an operator touches on the touch panel, (b1) judges whether or not the touched points coincide with an outline of the on-screen button, (c1) transfers a normal operation mode to a shifting mode for shifting a position of the on-screen button when the touched points coincide with the outline of the on-screen button, (d) shifts a position of the on-screen button on the display screen in conjunction of a movement of the touched points, and (e) arranges the on-screen button at a position where a pinch-out operation to widen a distance of the touched points is detected and then ends the shifting mode.
An information display device comprising:
- a display means that includes a touch panel and displays an on-screen button to which a given function is allocated on a display screen;
- and
- a position shifting means that (a) detects two or more points that an operator touches on the touch panel, (b1) judges whether or not the touched points coincide with an outline of the on-screen button, (c1) transfers a normal operation mode to a shifting mode for shifting a position of the on-screen button when the touched points coincide with the outline of the on-screen button, (d) shifts a position of the on-screen button on the display screen in conjunction of a movement of the touched points, and (e) arranges the on-screen button at a position where a pinch-out operation to widen a distance of the touched points is detected and then ends the shifting mode.
A method for a shifting operation of an on-screen button to shift an on-screen button to which a given function is allocated on a display of which a display screen the on-screen button is displayed on, the method comprising:
- (A) detecting two or more points that an operator touches on a touch panel of the display,
- (B1) judging whether or not the touched points coincide with an outline of the on-screen button,
- (C1) transferring a normal operation mode to a shifting mode for shifting a position of the on-screen button when the touched points coincide with the outline of the on-screen button,
- (D) shifting a position of the on-screen button on the display screen in conjunction of a movement of the touched points, and
- (E) arranging the on-screen button at a position where a pinch-out operation to widen a distance of the touched points is detected and then ending the shifting mode.
